Mammoth Overland’s ultra-rugged TL travel trailer has an insane amount of space

Over-specced, overbuilt, and spacious enough to sleep a family of four comfortably with room to spare.

Teardrop trailers have certainly come a long way in the last century, and especially in the last decade. The best off-road-ready models boast ultra-rugged designs built to tackle almost any terrain. The downside, however, is that their compact size means you’ll need to sacrifice interior living space, and sometimes, that’s just not a concession you’re willing to make. Enter Mammoth Overland’s all-new TL overland trailer, a beast of a travel trailer that’s Apocalypse-ready and roomy enough to sleep four adults.

On the outside, the TL overland trailer feels like a curious hybrid of a teardrop trailer and a compact yet rugged travel trailer. It is indeed both, and yet neither. Stepping inside, it’s easy to understand the TL (or “Tall Boy”) moniker. The tall interior provides 6’3″ of headroom and is plenty roomy for even your tallest friends to stand up comfortably. The floor plan is equally spacious, with room for a king-sized bed plus a modular couch that easily converts to a bed. Combined, there’s room for four adults to sleep comfortably or a family of five with small-ish children. That is an absurd amount of living space for a relatively compact trailer.

What further sets the TL apart, however, is the long list of luxuries. Adjacent to the bed is a Dickenson heater with an integrated ignition, making this a true winter-ready rig. More surprising is the legit indoor bathroom with a sink and shower with on-demand hot water, plus a portable cassette toilet. Additional amenities include power outlets (USB, AC, and DC) throughout the rig, a slide-out galley kitchen with a sink, an electric fridge, a dual-burner stove, and tinted windows for maximum privacy and temperature regulation. A beefy solar setup connected to a 2,000-watt inverter keeps all your favorite tech gadgets and the TL’s appliances humming no matter how far from civilization you’re planning to venture.

Of course, no “overland trailer” would be complete without serious off-road-ready gear. The TL boasts 33-inch BFG rubber, a Timbren 5200HD independent suspension, and even a pair of full-sized spares. Rock sliders and a 21.5-inch ground clearance mean it’s ready to take you just about anywhere. Exterior Molle panels, a modular roof rack, and Rotopax containers are all standard.

Mammoth Overland announced that it’s now accepting reservations for the TL Genesis Edition with an all-in price of $72,000. It ain’t cheap, but given how absurdly overbuilt and full-featured it is, it’s honestly not as expensive as we expected. Once the first ten models roll out, Mammoth will be offering a more toned-down version of the TL, presumably with a more toned-down price tag to match. Either way, a $1,000 refundable deposit is all it takes to get your personal build started. Production is expected to begin around the end of this year, and we assume the first deliveries should take place sometime in Q1/Q2 of 2025. If that seems like a long wait, look on the bright side: You have plenty of time to plan your first National Park campground stays.

It seems every carmaker is getting into the "rugged SUV" game these days. Turns out Honda is no exception. The ubiquitous Japanese brand recently announced plans to debut its most overland-ready SUV ever: The 2025 Passport TrailSport.

The all-new Honda Passport TrailSport is slated to be the most adventure-ready model in the Passport line-up. Notable upgrades include 31-inch all-terrain tires and a much shorter front overhang to drastically improve the vehicle's approach angle, making quick work of steep, backcountry trails. Bold, orange, heavy-duty recovery points at the front will also allow for righting the ship or getting you out of trouble if things go sideways out there.

AirPot is an ultra-portable inflatable toilet for doing “the doo” on the go
At about the size of a coconut and weighing a little over a pound, it's perfect for vanlifers and overlanders
airpot inflatable outdoor camping toilet seat setup

Finding somewhere to do "the doo" is one of the dirty little not-so-secret secrets of vanlifing and overlanding. There are really only three options for toileting: Find a public restroom, devise an in-vehicle solution, or, make like a true outdoorsperson, and get it done in nature (à la the traditional cathole) the way the camp gods intended. If you're the sort of fellah who likes roughing it in the wild, the third option is probably the one for you. That's where AirPot comes in.

It's an ultra-compact inflatable toilet that packs down to about the size of a traditional water bottle and weighs a little over a pound. That's more portable than almost any other on-the-go bathroom solution you're likely to find anywhere, so it's ideal for just about any outdoor adventure, including day hikes, overnighters, and car campers.

Backcountry Puffy Blanket is cozy enough for home, rugged enough for overlanding
It's lighter, warmer, more affordable, more sustainable, and even vegan. What's not to love?
rumpl backcountry puffy camping blanket lifestyle

If you're a camper and you like cozy blankets, chances are you've heard of Rumpl. The Portland, Oregon brand's OG puffy blanket is still our go-to gear grab when we're headed into the woods, to the beach, to a concert — anywhere outdoors, really. So, we were stoked to hear of its latest release: The new and improved Backcountry Puffy Blanket.

The next iteration in Rumpl's wildly popular technical blanket series aims to be better than its predecessor in every way. It starts with a proprietary NanoLoft synthetic insulation that's a vast improvement over traditional down for a number of reasons. Namely, it's more affordable and more sustainable. The latter is thanks to Rumpl's move to using 100% post-consumer recycled content in manufacturing the new Backcountry Puffy. By ditching old-school down, the blanket is also 100% vegan. Nice.
